Rewriting Society

Chapter 5

This chapter contains a suicide attempt.

The email was from Eraserhead, though the address was his civilian name, Shouta Aizawa. The email was about possible places and times for them to meet so that Gon could get the results.

They decided to email back that Gon would meet him at a café near UA the next day. As much as Killua wanted to go and Gon wanted him to come, they needed to get used to being apart again.

It was difficult after having spent just about every minute together over the last year. It certainly didn't help that they had been through so much. And if all went according to plan, UA would eventually move the students into dorms.

Gon and Killua would both wear masks when they were doing villain work, of course, but they still had to be careful.

The next morning, Gon was up early in order to be there on time, Killua getting up with him. The pair were both filled with anxiety, partially because of the meeting and partially because they would be separate.

Gon left early, wanting to get it done sooner rather than later. He got to the café ten to fifteen minutes early. He had brought the shared phone with him, just in case.

To his surprise, the hero was already there, sitting at one of the tables with a rat-bear looking thing next to him. "Hello, I assume you're Mr. Freecs?" The rat-thing asked.

Gon was caught off guard, "Y-Yes, though please just call me Gon, I don't really like who my name represents."

"I see. You must be confused, my name is Nezu and I am UA High's principal. Please take a seat."

"Oh- okay. How come you're here? Don't you have more important stuff to do than meet with me?"

"Well when somebody sends the 0 Pointer flying the way you did, I take it upon myself to meet with them. How exactly did you do that? And where's your friend that seems to always be with you, according to Aizawa?"

"I used my quirk to send it flying, did I hit it too hard? I didn't want to hit it too hard because I didn't want to destroy too many buildings."

"You weren't using your full strength?" The principal leaned forwards in his seat, clearly intrigued, his eyebrows raising.

"Well I almost did, another reason I didn't was because I was starting to get tired after having destroyed all those robots and running that far."

"Interesting…. And your friend?"

"Oh, well, if I get into UA, we won't be able to spend as much time together, so we decided I'd go by myself," Gon was obviously fidgety now that his friend had been mentioned.

"I can tell you that you certainly got in, how could we refuse when you scored so high on the practical exam? I'll admit, you could have done better on the written one, but you'll learn as time goes on. And if you don't mind me asking; I heard that your friend seemed injured, how's he doing?"

"He's doing fine," Gon was starting to clam up. Now they had less of a chance of getting information. "Just a graze to him considering his-" Gon cut himself off.

He almost shared something he definitely shouldn't. Now he was going to get questioned.

"Well I'm glad to hear he's doing okay. I don't believe we have anything else to say, do you?" Nezu asked the man sitting next to him.

"I don't believe so, no," the hero replied. "Though call me Mr. Aizawa from now on."

"Okay! Is it okay for me to go now?" Gon asked.

"Don't forget this," Mr. Aizawa said as he handed an envelope and a package to Gon. "You can leave now."

"Okay, bye!" Gon called as he walked out of the building. He rushed home as quickly as he could, excited to open the envelope and package.
